Windows 10: Windows 10, Mouse Lag - Sluggish window dragging with Office apps

When trying to drag any Office program open window using the mouse, the drag is very slow, severely lagging behind the mouse motion. This only happens with Office programs, all other windows work normally. This issue started about a month ago with a windows/office update.

I have tried the following:
• Reinstall the latest mouse drivers,
• Three different mice, one USB, One USB wireless, one Bluetooth
• Update Windows and Office

Nothing made any difference. When this happens, there is plenty of available memory, and CPU capacity. This seems to be a problem only related to Office programs.

Previous posts on this do not seem to address the same issue with only the Office programs.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Mouse lag when dragging Office Windows only

I just started to get mouse lag when moving Excel or Word docs. It's very strange because if I drag/move any other window there is no problem. It is specific to the Office programs. There is not skipping or freezing, it just moves very very slowly.

I'm using Windows 10. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

 

Mouse lag when dragging Office Windows only

It is so weird. When I start Excel or Word I can grab that window and drag it/move it fast. Once I choose to start a blank workbook, now the window becomes very slow to drag/move and lags behind my mouse movement. Does that make sense?
